Here is a couple references to diskpart. The first shows all of the commands available and the second shows how to delete a partition on a selected disk. The second one will give you a better idea of how the commands are put together. I would note that when you run a command it will affect the selected disk or selected partition on a disk. The commands you will use most to identify and verify disks and partitions and what is selected are as follows.

list disk
list partition
(you will constantly use these to know the disk and partition names and to verify which is selected as denoted by the asterisk before the name)

select disk
select partition
(these are how you select an active disk or partition)

If you run a command like DISKPART>delete partition
it will delete the selected partition so always make sure with list disk or list partition that the one you want modified has an asterisk by it.

I replaced the hard drive in my Dell desktop with a Samsung SSD. Now I want to use that system hard drive for backup. As you can see from the picture below, I have the main storage area and two other partitions.

The 101MB partition on the left has a "System Information" folder that is empty. I cannot delete it, not even with formatting. The partition on the right is empty. Is there a way to have one large partition?

I went to This PC (Win 8.1) > Manage > Disk Management
